| − | ==Collins (SOWPODS) in North America: Tournaments==
| |
| − | | |
| − | While there have been occasional tournaments played to the international
| |
| − | lexicon in the US since the 1990s (the ’93 Worlds in New York, for
| |
| − | example: the Worlds have always been SOWPODS), and occasional others
| |
| − | such as Wisconsin Dells, Toronto, and Texas, it has been in 2010
| |
| − | that the number of CSW tournaments has really started to increase.
| |
| − | This is in large part due to NASPA’s decision to allow CSW to be
| |
| − | rated, which has given the impetus to several organizers to add CSW
| |
| − | divisions, or create new tournaments to meet the pent-up demand.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It remains to be seen how much these numbers will continue to
| |
| − | increase, and whether we have reached a tipping point toward a
| |
| − | viable CSW scene, but the possibility of being able to play CSW
| |
| − | exclusively, particularly on the west coast of the US, if one would
| |
| − | like to, is becoming much more workable. Although, perhaps right
| |
| − | now, it would be reasonable to say that this is still more the case
| |
| − | for either the less prolific tournament player, or one with a large
| |
| − | travel budget.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Also of note is that there is an increasing number of prominent
| |
| − | international tournaments with quite substantial sponsorship and
| |
| − | prizes, several of which are well into the $1000s, and some over
| |
| − | $10,000. The Causeway tournament in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, in
| |
| − | December 2010 will have a top prize of $30,000. These and other
| |
| − | upcoming tournaments are listed on <a
| |
| − | href="http://members.ozemail.com.au/~rjackman/upcoming.html">Bob
| |
| − | Jackman’s SOWPODS site</a>.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Since the NASPA SOWPODS rating system went into effect, as of
| |
| − | September 2010, the following tournaments in North America are
| |
| − | either CSW, or have a CSW division. Some earlier tournaments were
| |
| − | played in 2009.
